]]>We had such a wonderful time this past weekend. I am not great at putting words together but this weekend meant so much to Adam, I and the kids.
First the communication about what was going on, how they were going to do things and information about the weekend in general was spot-on. Dexter was in constant contact, I talked on the phone and got an email from Audrey. When we arrived Audrey was there to greet us, went over everything again and had us all taken care of for the weekend.
Second the accommodations. The hotel was beautiful, pools, hot tub, workout room, and of course the beach. We stayed in a 2 bedroom unit with full kitchen and 2 full bathrooms. How wonderful was that for the 5 of us! Our balcony overlooked the water and we slept both nights with the sliding door open to hear the crashing waves as we slept.
Third the activities. There was definitely something for everyone and everything was planned perfectly. We crammed so much into Saturday and enjoyed every second of it. We hit the beach before going to The Track where the kids got to run from ride to ride as many times as they wanted. Then we grabbed a quick bite and off to our sunset dolphin cruise that didn’t disappoint. The kids fed the seagulls Cheetos while the boat cruised out in the gulf. We saw dolphins jumping through the waves and the boat even stopped at their crab tap and brought a blue crab on deck to show everyone.
Fourth and lastly the smiles! All weekend, no matter what board member we saw the one thing that never changed was their smiles. Whether they were bringing us drinks at breakfast or feeding dollars into the change machine at the arcade for the kids they were all about the giving and seemed genuinely happy to do it.
I can’t thank you enough for giving us this wonderful memory. My hope is that this stress-free, fun-filled weekend can replace some of the bad memories my family has had to endure. My family has seen me go through so much, surgeries, hospitalizations, treatments, medicines and that’s not ever going to end for me. Thank you for putting smiles on our faces, love in our hearts, and new wonderful memories to see us through!
Lots of Love,
Heidi Luke (Bristol) & Adam, Shane, Austin and Jenna

]]>The weekend spent with you and the Emerald Coast Community Cares Foundation was an unforgettable treat for Anthony, Lil Anthony, and I. Everything, including from room, weather, scenery, and even better company, were just awesome. The food was good, the attitudes were positive and the care was outstanding. The only thing we’d recommend is to have more more activities, and sleep arrangements in the childcare areas when parents go to date night.

We can’t thank you enough for extending your invitation to us. Thanks so much for everything, and God bless you all.

Friday night after check-in Cabana Cafe will be serving up a wonderful Low Country Shrimp Boil for a meet and greet party so that our military families can get acquainted with the other families. There will be wonderful live music with Jabo & Krissa. After dinner the families can enjoy the beach or relax in their rooms.

Saturday we will start with breakfast at Cabana Cafe. Each family will have a volunteer assigned to make reservations and arrange transportation to and from a slew of activities.
That evening is date night. We have arranged to to take care of the children so that the parents can have a date night at their choice of restaurant. They have their choice of Elephant Walk, Vin’tij, Harry T’s, Cuvee Bistro,Camilles’s, Margaritaville or Chans wine world.

After dinner the families will have their choice of Entertainment, be it a movie, putt-Putt, a sunset cruise, Live Music and dancing or wine and desert on the beach.

Sunday morning there will be a church service on the beach followed by a breakfast buffet and then checkout.

This is our first outing and hopefully it will be well regarded by the attendees so that next year we can treat even more families.
